I do remember all the things you mentioned in this article Mark. I still have VHSs myself, wondering what to do with them. One thing is certain, time marches on and change is progress. Game of Thrones brought us all together, gave us a reason to gather with friends and family and enjoy good food. I would be all for bringing it back with the original cast even if that means AI makes that happen.
Trump is the Anti-Christ and his cult is too large but I refuse to believe there are that many of them. If so, then we need another flood.
